<p>How sad. I really, really respected this man for his courage, talent and sense of work ethic. He will be missed.</p>
<p>ohhhh, this is sad. I loved some of his movies.</p>
<p>Wow this is sad. I have been a fan of his for many years, since the first time I saw Dirty Dancing as a kid. I still watch that movie every time it comes on no matter how many times I have seen it. I have seen so many movies of his and he always does such a good job. And he even sings a bit.</p>
<p>RIP…</p>
<p>I just saw it in CNN. How sad. Scary too, he was just a year older than me.</p>
<p>Another talent taken from this world by a $@%& disease. Pancreatic cancer… So sad!</p>
<p>[‘Dirty</a> Dancing’ star Patrick Swayze dies at 57 - Yahoo! News](<a href=“http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obit_swayze]'Dirty”>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obit_swayze)</p>
<p>Oh man, he always struck me as a really, really decent guy. Very, very sad.</p>
<p>He was one of my favorite entertainers. Seemed like a very good person, too.</p>
<p>He did get to survive a long time – 20 months – after diagnosis. That included his being able to do some acting work. He did better than a friend’s husband who died 3 weeks after diagnosis at about the same age as Swazye.</p>
<p>I feel really sad about this. RIP Patrick Swayze.</p>
<p>I loved to watch him dance! </p>
<p>How sad to lose such a talent at a young age. He just seemed so nice and truly genuine – no airs or pretensions – when he was on talk shows or being interviewed. My heart goes out to his wife.</p>
<p>My sentiments exactly, BunsenBurner.</p>
<p>One of the actors with a stable family life–his own, his parents (who owned a dance studio), true talent. miss him</p>
<p>So sad. Here’s to hoping that all ghosts look that good…</p>
<p>:( 
:(</p>
<p>ditto :(</p>

<p>They’ve been together since they were kids, they were both under 20 when they met and fell in love.</p>
<p>Sigh.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>He was the Gene Kelly of this generation…graceful yet macho. A real human being who could also dance like an angel.</p>
<p>I loved “Dirty Dancing” when I first saw it, some years after I went to summer camp. Girl meets boy, has life-altering experiences…yeah. Still one of my all-time favorite movies.</p>
<p>Loved him in “Dirty Dancing”. I agree that Mr Swayze always seemed like a decent guy (and what a dancer!). I hope he is at peace now. He will be missed.</p>
<p>Patrick will always be Orry Main to me (I have seen North and South about 10 times, will have to buy it now if it is on DVD). RIP…</p>
<p>“Too Wong Foo, Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar” will always be my favorite Patrick Swayze film. It was amazing what a beautiful, classy woman he made (you need to see this film, to understand-he was a drag queen). So RIP “Miss Vida”</p>
